Briefly explain why an unbalanced chemical equation cannot fully describe a reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
zubka84 [21]3 years ago
5 0

From the conservation of mass, matter is not created nor destroyed. So ponder it this way, for example I put one piece of toast in a toaster, but when it is done I had two pieces, that makes no sense right? Same thing with a chemical reaction but in molecular terms, all things must stay constant. If you put a convinced amount you have to get that quantity back, not less or not more in broad terms.

How many O atoms are in 4C₆H₁₂O₆
ipn [44]

Number of O atoms : 24

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

C₆H₁₂O₆ compound

Required

Number of atoms

Solution

A molecular formula  shows the number of atomic elements in compound.  

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of the atoms

Glucose-C₆H₁₂O₆ is composed of 3 elements, namely C, H, and O.

The number of atoms in a compound can usually be seen from the subscript number after the atom and the reaction coefficient shows the number of molecules

So number of O atoms :

= 4 x 6 = 24 atoms

Holding temperature and pressure constant, what is the most important feature in determining the phase of a given organic compou
Leni [432]
Holding temperature and pressure constant <span>the most important feature in determining the phase of a given organic compound is pressure. ransfers of organic compounds between phases are controlled by molecular interactions (intermolecular bonding) in the two phases between which transfer is occurring. This is governed by temperature and pressure</span>

What relationship exists between the mass number of an element and the isotopes of that element?
labwork [276]
The mass number plays an important role for elements and their isotopes. Mass number comes from the addition of protons and neutrons (their weight). Isotopes are the elements, but with a different number of neutrons. So in turn, by subtracting the number of protons (atomic number) from the mass, you can find the number of neutrons.

Answer:

49.5J/°C

Explanation:

The hot water lost some energy that is gained for cold water and the calorimeter.

The equation is:

Q(Hot water) = Q(Cold water) + Q(Calorimeter)

<em>Where:</em>

Q(Hot water) = S*m*ΔT = 4.184J/g°C*54.56g*(80.4°C-59.4°C) = 4794J

Q(Cold water) = S*m*ΔT = 4.184J/g°C*47.24g*(59.4°C-40°C) = 3834J

That means the heat gained by the calorimeter is

Q(Calorimeter) = 4794J - 3834J = 960J

The calorimeter constant is the heat gained per °C. The change in temperature of the calorimeter is:

59.4°C-40°C = 19.4°C

And calorimeter constant is:

960J/19.4°C =

<h3>49.5J/°C</h3>
